Unexpected Times
Forecasting is a tool being used to project and predict upcoming trends and events to safeguard one’s business or image but because of the fast changing times, apparently, the unexpected is not put into consideration and that makes a major difference.
Who would have thought that the next US president can possibly be a black man or a white woman? It was aptly mentioned by John Stuart, host of the Daily Show, when he hosted the Oscar’s that such a situation is only possible on TV or the movies and jokingly mentioned that the scenario would be that the Statue of Liberty will be bombed or the US is being attacked by aliens. It is also quite interesting to note that Sen. Hillary, former first lady, was the widely expected Democrat nominee not until Sen. Obama came into the picture.
In our local national scene, who would have thought Sen. Trillanes would win even if he was behind bars and no survey even showed that he was in the winning circle. On the other hand, who would have thought that certain establishment and incumbent national leaders would lose given their exposure and consistent high rankings in the surveys. In terms of technology, who would have thought that cellular phones would be an important part of our daily lives, we can watch TV on our mobile phones and internet websites like friendster and myspace would be an effective tool of meeting old friends we’ve long lost contact with.
In a more local scene such as here in Iloilo, who would have thought that a possibility of having two congressional districts can happen in the next few years (given that the requirements are met) and who would have imagined that the new airport of international standards would be completed (given the debates about having such). Furthermore, we now have a fly over in the city.
Truly, these new things in our world have affected our everyday lives and it seems that there are more to come. What does this say to us? Things happen. Every minute or second even matters. So many things can change and what truly is permanent in this world is change.
Subong nga mga tini-on daw wala na sang imposible kag wala na may mahambal nga bal-an ang tanan. Amu na importante gid nga ipreparar natun ang atun nga kaugalingon sa tanan nga posibilidad. Indi kita magsobra ka salig kag ka kumpyansa sa kung anu man. Magtinguha ta, magpangabudlay, maging matutum, saligan ang Diyos kag maging bukas sa tanan nga pwede matabu.
Para sa kauswagan sang Siyudad sang Iloilo, UGYON Kabataang Ilonggo, UGYON Iloilo. Ilonggos are worth working and fighting for.
For comments and/or suggestions, email councilorlextupas@yahoo.com. This also serves as the email used in my account in http://www.friendster.com/.
I would also like to greet each and every Ilonggo a blessed Holy Week. I hope we use this time to reflect on the things that have happened to us, God’s blessings, the challenges we have faced and to focus on developing a better relationship with God through our religious and spiritual life.
